My interest is in nonlinear/intelligent control and includes the subset
of FL called FL control (FLC). This has a FAM construct of course ...
though often specialised in the 2-in/1-out (TISO) format, and hence a
2-D tabular object. The more general, Ni x Nout type of FAM is at least
very difficult to visualise even if it were not hard to compute. Higher
dimensional FRB/FAM's are preferably avoided/reduced/manipulated. So
assuming that this may still be of some interest:

TISO FAMs are special to FLC, and typical of ones in literature. In
Kosko's books there are a whole bunch of FAM's, including heuristic and
machine-generated ones. There are many implications of these things. Eg.
in a FLC, being by design a closed-loop controller, the FAM, and the
crisp equivalent input/output surface, is essentially a (fuzzy)
phase-plane, which tries to model a basic inherently stable controller,
modulo tuning and other variations. These things are quite critical to
FLC operation (Mamdani, 1976 - 1979 and on, has provided considerable
insight into this; Ray and Majumder, IEEE SMC, 1984, have formally shown
the stabilising construction of the FLC; Tang and Mulholland, IEEE SMC,
1987 show how the FLC is simply a complex PID ... as infinitum; and Lee,
IEEE SMC 1990 is a good reference paper). Again, in FLC esp., each of
these refs. will also provide considerable insight into the "classical"
TISO FLC FAM design. The meta-FAM of Procyk and Mamdani, Automatica,
1979; eg. is fascinating. For other sets of FAMs, "Industrial
Applications of Fuzzy Control", North-Holland, 1985, are particularly
useful. Otherwise, the SMC and Fuz Sys J. of IEEE are a continuous
source of information on many such things.
